Young Women Fury at Assault Convictions in Eivissa Nightclub Case

Two young women convicted of assaulting another woman at the former Eivissa nightclub have reacted with fury to their sentences, with one confronting the presiding magistrate in court and drawing a sharp rebuke from the court usher.

The Tribunal de Corts issued the ruling following a 10 March hearing, finding both defendants guilty of serious intentional injuries despite applying leniency for their ages at the time: one was under 21 and the other a minor. The older woman received a 10-month suspended prison sentence with a four-year probation period. Her co-defendant faces two weekends of house arrest with monitoring, to take effect once the ruling is final; the court will soon confirm whether it applies during day or night hours. Both must jointly cover court costs and pay €33 to the CASS for the victim's medical expenses.

The incident took place in 2019 or 2020—reports vary slightly on the exact year—during a brawl at the nightclub. It began with an argument that escalated into physical violence on the dance floor or near the exit. The victim testified that both women hit her, including after she fell. Witnesses described a chaotic melee with pushes and punches involving multiple people. The defendants denied landing blows, though one acknowledged pulling the victim's hair.

As the verdict was read, the women decried the victim's account as incoherent and rejected the outcome. One escalated by directly challenging the magistrate, prompting the usher to intervene with a firm warning: "You cannot address the court like that." The tribunal upheld the aggression as proven, crediting the victim's testimony and witnesses over the defendants' denials in a case complicated by the crowd involvement.
